Compliance Team Examines Organizational Culture and Misconduct in Global Investigations Review

In a chapter for Global Investigations Review, director of behavioral insights Nitish Upadhyaya, litigation & enforcement partner and founder of R&G Insights Lab Amanda Raad, and associates Leah Dowd, Jeffrey Irwin, and Karina Thomas examine compliance, conduct and behavior through the lenses of cultural psychology, behavioral science and complex adaptive systems.

The chapter, “Understanding and Shaping Organizational Culture to Disrupt the Cycle of Misconduct”, explores the complexity and nuance of corporate culture, the complex interplay between people and their environments, and how data can “provide insights and is the bedrock on which a cultural assessment can be built.”

The team noted, “A data-driven and human-centered approach can have resounding effects on fostering a culture of compliance and ethics – and ultimately help to break the cycle of non-compliance that so many have struggled with for so long.”
